A 4.6 earthquake tore through the ocean town and shook the residents awake. A sharp crack like a giant rifle sounded in the night, followed by ominous rumblings that flowed in waves across the metropolitan area. When he felt the shaking, police officer Dennis Johnson rolled out of bed and instinctively grabbed his service revolver. "Dennis," his wife said calmly, "not even you can stop an earthquake with a gun." Humanity expresses an insufferable arrogance. We are convinced we can solve human problems if enough intelligent people work at it for long enough. All the solutions, however, reduce themselves to the same few: government spending, stiffer laws, more prisons, harsher sentences, more police on the streets. Jesus forgives sin and rehabilitates lives. Only fasting, prayer, humiliation, and tears can solve our problems. There is no need to keep grabbing for the same old answers — we need to reach out to Jesus.  Quote this article on your site | Views: 366 | Print | E-mail
